LO folks, newbie to scanners & Linux box here. I'm running SuSE Linux 7.1 pro on a Fujitsu Myrica Plus P233X with 64M Ram. I also have a UMAX Astra 610P, which, according to
>http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html >There is now a preliminary SANE backend for these scanners. Note that the > 610 has not been tested with this backend but is reported to use the same >ASIC as the 1220P and the 2000P so it might work. I have two q's. q1. Is this EVER gonna work? q2. Does anyone have a) the time, b) the patience to talk a newbie(windows convert) through the parport business? cu Ron
